July 2026
Kickstart Your New Financial Year was what this July event was about and Great to see such strong engagement at our Victorian Leaders
Business leaders explored two topics that are having an increasing impact on organisations today: protecting competitive advantage in an AI-enabled world, and navigating an increasingly complex economic environment.
A big thank you to Helen Mutimer, FB Rice for sharing practical insights on intellectual property, trade secrets and AI, and Matthew De Pasquale, Judo Bank for an engaging economic update covering the key issues shaping business confidence and decision-making.
Thank you to our members, guests, Advisory Board and presenters for contributing to another outstanding event.
If you're a business leader who values trusted peer connections, practical insights and being challenged and held accountable to think differently, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out to learn more about Victorian Leaders

June 2026
Huge thanks to our speakers Pierce Hanlen and Warren Otter for delivering insights that were practical, timely, and immediately usable.
Key takeaways that had the room buzzing:
• Superannuation is still one of the most powerful planning levers — especially when contributions, pensions and estate planning are aligned. With Division 296 now in play, proactive advice isn’t optional; it’s essential.
• Mid‑sized businesses don’t stall because of effort — they stall because of lack of strategy. Working harder won’t fix complacency or ineffective growth tactics. • Strategic acquisition is back on the table — and when paired with strong systems and leadership, it can accelerate growth, lift business value, and give owners back time and choice.
Plenty of sharp discussion, plenty of “aha” moments… and plenty of people lining up for July.
If you weren’t in the room, make sure you are next month. The momentum is building

May Event
May’s Victorian Leaders event is all about clarity, risk, and the decisions that shape the future of your business.
We’re joined by Andrew Ellem & Brett Havlin (Prime Financial Group) to unpack the 2026 Budget and what it really means for tax planning and investment strategy.
Then Hayden McMaster(Synapse IT Consultants) takes us inside a real cyber incident — where risk builds quietly, choices matter, and leadership determines the outcome long before anything hits the news.
